Sherdog.com confirmed the switch with a
UFC official on Friday morning. Brazilian outlet Combate first
reported Ellenberger’s injury, and MMAJunkie.com followed the
report with news of the Lim-Saffiedine pairing.

UFC Fight Night 34 takes place at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore
and will also see longtime Japanese standout Tatsuya
Kawajiri square off with Hacran Dias.
Lim was initially booked to face Kiichi
Kunimoto at the event, but Kunimoto will now instead face Luis
Jorge Dutra Jr.

Lim has been on a roll of late, going undefeated in his last seven
outings. The former Pacific Xtreme Combat welterweight titlist made
his UFC debut this past March, knocking out Marcelo
Guimaraes before doing the same thing to German prospect
Pascal
Krauss on Aug. 31 at UFC 164.

Saffiedine captured the Strikeforce welterweight belt in his most
recent outing, extending his winning streak to four fights by
thoroughly outpointing Nate
Marquardt at Strikeforce’s final show this past January.
“Sponge” was then expected to make his Octagon debut on July 27 at
UFC on Fox 8, but he was forced to withdraw from that booking due
to injury.
